Rodeo Time



In Reno, Nevada, it is rodeo time.  My best friend, Candace, took these pictures of the cattle drive coming into town.  She tells me that for $1400 one can go on this 100 mile cattle drive.  Apparently they furnish the horses.  While it would have been fun in my earlier years, I'm not so sure about trying it now.  
















Looks to me like there are more riders than there are steers.  But, I guess it is all in the fun of doing something that was done a long, long time ago.  Make it a great weekend.  In Arizona we are heading for the 110+ degree temperatures.

  1. Yep, I'd be leaving that one up to the cowboys! It looks like a good weekend to work on inside projects & maybe hit Red Box! Stay cool, my friend!

  3. 110 degrees?? Ouch! We'll be in the 90's here, but the humidity is high which makes it mighty hot.
    I'm with you...I'd have loved to go on one of the trail rides when I was younger.
    Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

  4. Hot...way to hot...send some of that over here! It's cold and windy. That looks like a fun trip. I am going on a horse backpacking trip this fall...I sure hope these old bones hold together!

  5. Love these photos; they remind me of the sheep drive in Red Lodge, Montana. Fun!

  6. Oh, my husband would LOVE going on the cattle drive. Me? I think I'll stay back at the ranch and sit in the shade with a cool drink. :)
